General Star Wars <strong>Random Thoughts</strong> Thread
Time

I’m fine with the swearing, but the constant tangents on killing and enslaving women gets on my nerves. Every now and then I laugh at one but when every scene in a movie warrants a “this scene is a car crash… like the one I killed my wife in” line, I get annoyed.

As much as I really like TFA, I’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t totally rip it to shreds at times (like Starkiller). I also wish he’d do the TOS Trek movies, almost all of them could use a good Plinketting.

What didn't you like about TFA? <em>SPOILERS</em>
Time

I enjoyed TFA, don’t get me wrong. I rate it as the 3rd best in the saga (just barely over ROTJ, which may change in the future). I just didn’t really grasp the relationship between the Republic and the Resistance. Now that I have EU (nuEU) explanation, I do understand it, but upon first viewing of the film, not knowing anything, I didn’t know how the Resistance existed. “Is it the Republic fleet under a different name? Is it funded from someone embezzling from the Republic?” and other ideas crossed my mind.

TFA left me grasping at straws as to how the Resistance existed and it could have easily been cleared up with just one scene (that is rumored to exist and was left on the cutting room floor). I don’t see why it couldn’t have just been the Republic Army that would become a Resistance after the Republic’s destruction.

Ranking the Star Wars Soundtracks
Time

Okay, so I’m not the only one that really likes TFA’s soundtrack, that’s good. It has more memorable tracks (Rey’s Theme and March of the Resistance) that the PT, but it’s been a very long time since I’ve listened to those, and the only track I remember from any of them is Duel of the Fates. I’ll give them all another listen soon and then make a ranking.

Episode VIII : The Last Jedi - Discussion * <strong><em>SPOILER THREAD</em></strong> *
Time

Maybe some day there will be a comic or a novel that explains all of Snoke’s backstory, but I honestly don’t think they’ll even go into his past all that much in the movies. Perhaps he’ll be confirmed Plagueis in said DisnEU material, but I just don’t see it happening in the movies, even if only for the reason that no casual viewer would know or care who Plagueis is.

In what way I should watch a Star Wars Marathon?
Time

The proper viewing order for you is:

ANH
TESB
ROTJ
Wait for a few weeks until you can legally obtain TFA
TFA

You could do the waiting before the full marathon even begins and watch them in order that way, but seriously, don’t pirate it.

Also, you can slap the PT in there somewhere if you like those or any of the fanedits.
